Your Favorite Actors

I thought of this recently when I was listening to Austrian Death Machine  

Who are your favorite actors/actresses?

Who do you always enjoy to watch in a film?

Have you ever tried to watch all the movies these actor has been in?

Do you have a Top 10? 5? or just one?





So here are my favorites off the top of my head:

Arnold Schwarzenegger
John Wayne
Sean Connery
Michael Keaton
Mel Gibson
Gal Gadot (I think she is the perfect choice Wonder Woman and just find her background in the Israeli military really cool)
Matt Damon
Henry Cavill
Harrison Ford
Jack Nicholson

(I also now realize how so few films have great female leads! I hope Wonder Woman does more than just dominate the box office)

Its always been a goal of mine to watch all of John Wayne's and Arnold Schwarzenegger's movies

My favorite is easy... Clint Eastwood. I also like Al Pacino, Denzel Washington, and in the last few years, I've become a bit of a Liam Neeson fan. A newcomer for me is Walter Goggins. I've only seen him a couple of roles, but he owns the screen when he's on it.

In no particular order...and off the top of my head. (I'll probably make a more refined list later)

Male:
Denzel Washington
Harrison Ford
Bruce Willis
Samuel L. Jackson
Gary Oldman
Christian Slater
Clint Eastwood
Al Pacino
Robert Deniro
Kevin Costner
Robert Duvall
James Earl Jones

Female:
Andie Macdowell
Geena Davis

Favorite actor, hands down.  Bill Nighy.
Favorite actress, hands down.  Emmy Rossum.

I get why everyone besides me will list Al Pacino, Harrison Ford, Geena Davis, etc.  They're the best at what they do, but they're too much of a one-trick-pony to be my favorite.

I don't really have any. My family was never big on movies, and when I did see movies I had a very hard time telling people apart anyway. I generally don't pick up on nuances that indicate good acting either.

I'll concede Adam, Gary Oldman is a very, very good actor.
He'd be right after Bill Nighy in my book.

Thomas, yep, I'm pretty mainstream in my movie watching and actor choices.

Yeah, Gary Oldman? Incredible! Love him in Fifth Element, True Romance, The Professional, Immortal Beloved, Dark Knight trilogy, and when I saw that picture of him this morning as Winston Churchill I flipped out.

My personal favorite role of Gary Oldman is playing as Mason Verger in the movie Hannibal. Jeez he was brilliant in that.

I could only think of two. Gene Hackman and Robert Duvall.

I'll make a new list soon but I'd like to add Sigourney Weaver to my Female list. She is just amazing in the Alien franchise.

Lots of great actors.  Love Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington.  James Stewart was great too.
